What?? You mean you already lost the first one we sent you??


Joel - I told you only the 8G model would work here in Hawaii, the 4G just doesn`t have enough uhmph to get over the pond!!!  Hopefully it`ll still wash up on shore and the characters from LOST can get rescued sooner so we don`t have to put up with 2 more years of no answers!!!

I do want an iPhone.  And I am a part time technology early adopter.  But this time around I will most likely wait for at least the second generation.  And a price drop.

What I really want is an iPhone Shuffle that has no screen and dials your numbers at random.  That would be great!

Talking while driving is one thing but please people, don`t write emails while driving.  Don`t surf the net while driving.  Don`t launch your new web business while driving.

I have a Blackberry Pearl which has such tiny buttons it is hard to do anything on it, especially email. If T-Mobile had the Iphone I would definitely consider it.  If Rossb doesn`t want his 4 gig model I`ll take it off his hands!

BTW - I don`t care about needing two hands to operate it, I never use my cell phone while driving!

I guess I`m missing something here... I tried using my computer to be a "road warrior," `cause I wanted to be up with modern technology. But I could only go to the end of the parking lot before the extension cord got pulled out of the wall. Have you guys got longer extension cords or something?

I can get most the features from an Iphone on mine already so I won`t be getting one. In all honesty Apple really missed the mark on this, the Iphone should had been released over a year ago, before all these companies released similar products.

As a motorcycle rider my life can depend on your putting your cell phone down and paying attention. For you and your pecious call and your lack of attention when the conversation turns for the worst, it`s me who might have to pay the ultimate price. Please pay attention while driving, because that is your FIRST task, not answering the phone.  And for gods sake please quit text messaging while driving. I`m not necessarily picking on any one person here inparticular it`s more about a warning. Because I know I couldn`t live with myself if I killed someone, I bet others here feel the same way.

Doh! Ross, my man....I TOTALLY wasn`t thinking of modern technology here! Radio Shack has a solar-panel system, and y`know...I believe it`s explictly designed for taking a computer on the road! Thanks for the reminder!

I`m not getting an iPhone because I don`t have a cell phone or "crackberry" at all.  I had a cell phone for about three months 12 years ago and hated it. I don`t want - or need - to be that connected.

My partner actually checks his Blackberry in the morning before even saying good morning it me.

Why get an iPhone when you can have
iPhoney for free? Only
works for Mac, but worth checking out.

I will (hopefully) be getting one today. I don`t think Apple missed the mark..
I think they`re right on. We`ll see what happens over the next few weeks.

I think we should give all our iPhones to Stephen Colbert.
